Feeling too deeply for characters (NARUTO,NANA, MOB PSYCHO, CHAINSAW MAN MOVIE, & JJK SPOILERS)
I’m 19 yrs old and recently got back into anime. I use to watch random ones on YouTube and stuff from 8-15 and then stopped but I started uni this year and hated the feeling of my proximity to childhood whimsy being lost so I started watching Naruto. It impacted me so so deeply to the point where after obitos arc I could not go 10 minutes without thinking about how he genuinely was kidnapped and groomed and never got to live normally and just died. Like it seriously was hurting my heart. ITACHIS STORY GENUINELY KILLED ME KNOWING HE WAS JUST 13 SHAKING WHILE KILLING HIS PARENTS LIKE ARE U SERIOUS ?!?!? Not to even mention the month long depression I had after Naruto ended. I feel so so sad seeing anything with sasuke and Sakura because they just seem so bitter sweet. LIKE ITS CRAZYYYY HOW DEEPLY SAD I FEEL. Another one is chainsaw man which I also avoid because I know from edits it’s so deeply sad. I just keep thinking about how reze seriously just died and never got to live and not does denji like he’s constantly going through so much. I think about yuji too and how he fucking has to live alone forever. The best way I can describe it is like ur childhood best friend u moved away from and now u hear or go visit them just to see they are stuck in a loveless marriage or that they died or something.
The reason im posting this is today I saw a clip from Nana (I avoid that anime like a plague because I know it will destroy me) of when she was in bed and takumi said just worry about pleasing me even though she didn’t want to. WHEN I TELL YOU I GENUINELY CLENCHED MY HEART AND STARTED HYPERVENTILATING. AND I DONT KNOW JACK SHIT ABOUT THE ANIME OTHER THAN THE FACT SHE MARRIED HIM.
But I seriously can’t recover from these characters pain and life story and it’s affecting my life soooo much. It’s genuinely like mourning for a friend u Haven’t seen in a while and it just hurts thinking where did it go wrong and why them.
I seriously need help like how do I not feel so deeply when consuming media. This is happening with every anime I finish and watch like even mob psycho made me so depressed for a week just thinking about what Mob is doing now or is reigan ever got a gf. I think of all the characters so so deeply every fucking second. I want to not be so attached and also be able to consume media normally.
Any tips ? Does this happen to u ?

Anytime you experience something physically disabling should be taken seriously. Speaking with a therapist or maybe meditating on your own about the root of these responses couldn't hurt. It might be possible that you don't have a proper outlet for emotions and media gives you the unconscious chance to vent to an extreme degree.
